My Skin Brightening Journey With KOSÉ

Sponsored post

I am a known candle princess (puteri lilin) to my friends, those who know me well understand that I am so afraid of the sun. Despite all the protections I've done to protect my skin from the harmful sun rays, I found a dark spot on my right cheek a few months ago! This "little dark spot" discovery awakened me and hence...my 2016's skincare resolution is to start using some brightening products. I started with some brightening masks, while waiting for my old skincare products to finish. Thankfully KOSÉ team sent in their SEKKISEI’s Special Edition Trial Kit for me to review just when I needed!

I received their trial kit 3 days after Valentine's day! What a surprise for me, they're way too sweet! 💕💕

Haven't gotten surprise like this in ages!

SEKKISEI’s Special Edition Trial Kit (RM 99)

The products included in the trial kit!

SEKKISEI lotion is 100ml and emulsion is 70ml, what a steal! So tempted to get myself another one!

Products descriptions and "How To Use" is included in the trial kit too! Very thoughtful :).

More on their product information:

Time to try out their products!

Basic care:

SEKKISEI White Liquid Wash (20ml)

About 2 pumps with this trial size to start this brightening skincare routine!

The liquid wash is more on the moisturizing one even though it's a brightening facial wash.

SEKKISEI Lotion (100ml)

I prefer to use the lotion on a cotton pat for 2nd cleansing purpose!

Pat gently on the entire face...

Then I'll split the cotton pad into half (my cotton pads aren't very good so I could only split into 2), placing both the half cotton pads onto my spot area.

SEKKISEI Emulsion (70ml)

Very moisturizing, and quick absorption too!

Special care:

SEKKISEI Clear Whitening Mask (10g)

Apply on the entire face...

Then peel it off when it's all dry!

A gentle reminder: Avoid eyebrows and hairline area, it was so funny I thought I peeled off half of my eyebrows then I only found out there was some mask left around my eyebrow area which matches my dark eyebrow so perfectly. Avoid eyes and lips area which are more sensitive too!

Clear skin after!

The SEKKISEI Clear Whitening Mask removes blackheads and whiteheads, dead skin cells while tightening the visible pores. I do feel my visible pores tightened after this mask application, but it isn't as effective in removing blackheads and whiteheads like the regular blackhead remover products such as pore strips.

Bihadagoyomi mask (3 pcs)

Place the Bihadagoyomi mask on the cap of SEKKISEI lotion.....

and soak it with SEKKISEI lotion!

Ready to use when it's all puffed up!

Remove the mask after 5-10 mins.

Perfect use for to achieve the quick hydrated and radiant skin. Usually I would use this method before applying makeup or to wake up my tired skin in the morning.

Skin Brightening (Fruit) Diet:

Ever since I started using SEKKISEI’s trial kit, I implemented this Skin Brightening Dietby taking in fruits that helps in skin brightening on daily basis.Just like someone who started going gym, they've to change their diet in order to achieve the body shape they desire for. Even before this I'm a fruit maniac, but I wasn't picky on the choices of fruit. Now I make sure that I've to at least take in one of the fruits from my Skin Brightening Dietlist everyday.

Orange

Kiwi

Lemon

Grapefruit

Fruits that are high in Vitamin C helps a lot, my mom told me that she used to take Vitamin C supplements to reduce her freckles when she was younger. Other fruits such as papaya, apple, pineapple, berries and etc. are effective in skin brightening too!

Hopefully I could achieve a more radiant, translucent, and brighter ''Snow White'' skin soon!

Overall, SEKKISEI range is surprisingly moisturizing enough. There are too many brightening skincare products which are less moisturizing and harsh to sensitive skin. This range is very gentle to my skin and I love its soft floral scent too!
